        When you clean glass so well, people walk into sliding glass doors in your home.

          In playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Rogue...during the present day parts of the game I had to check out the copier in the offices.....looks really close to a Konica Minolta Bizhub...

                    You've used a vacuum to cover a fart sound and cleaning fluid to cover the smell.

                      You did a MacGyver and real proud of it and now you think you are ionstien

                      The show follows secret agentAngus MacGyver, played by Richard Dean Anderson, who works as a troubleshooter for the fictional Phoenix Foundation in Los Angeles and as an agent for a fictional United States government agency, the Department of External Services (DXS). Educated as a scientist, MacGyver served as a Bomb Team Technician/EOD during the Vietnam War ("Countdown"). Resourceful and possessed of an encyclopedic knowledge of the physical sciences, he solves complex problems by making things out of ordinary objects, along with his ever-present Swiss Army knife. He prefers non-violent resolutions and prefers not to handle a gun.

                        I was always able to find those missing screws and corona springs by going to my car and digging through my "cup of junk". Once I got the screw/spring replaced I found the lost item. Emujo

                            All of your dress pants are black, or dark blue.

                            And yes, ripped a pair out while lifting a Royal 5000 series typewriter. Just kept walking like nothing.
